Lost pihole interface when installed nextcloud

[FurnaceRocker]

Expected Behaviour:

be able to access nextcloud and the pihole admin page
-operating system :Centos 7
-hardware]_ Intel Xeon E3-1200

Actual Behaviour:

I can't access pihole's admin interface. I'm able to access nextcloud fine. I changed the port for lighttpd to 8080 (because httpd was using 80) and then tried going to http://localhost:8080/admin, but it says it can't find it. I've even found that if I turn off nextcloud I can get to the admin page. I'm going to post this on nextcloud's forum to to see if they might have a solution to, not sure if nextcloud or pihole is the problem.

Debug Token:

Have you tried either of the following URL's:

http://pi.hole:8080/admin

http://192.168.4.40:8080/admin

From your debug log. The method you are using to change the lighttpd port is not sticky - it will be overwritten on the next Pi-hole update or repair.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4113 Aug 15 00:59 /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
   server.modules = (
       "mod_access",
       "mod_auth",
       "mod_expire",
       "mod_fastcgi",
       "mod_accesslog",
       "mod_compress",
       "mod_redirect",
       "mod_setenv",
       "mod_rewrite"
   )
   server.document-root        = "/var/www/html"
   server.error-handler-404    = "/pihole/index.php"
   server.upload-dirs          = ( "/var/cache/lighttpd/uploads" )
   server.errorlog             = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
   server.pid-file             = "/run/lighttpd.pid"
   server.username             = "lighttpd"
   server.groupname            = "lighttpd"
   server.port                 = 8080
   ...

For a more permanent port change, see the following:

Lighttpd daemon won't start

lighttdp.conf will be overwritten on Pi-hole updates. What's your lighttpd version? lighttpd -v If that returns 1.4.46 or above, you should be able to overwrite the port from Pi-hole's lighttpd.conf in your external.conf like this: server.port := 8888 Note that the := operator isn't supported in older versions of lighttpd.

I did try both of those, and it was the same result, can't reach page.

bump, any ideas?

Could you provide more details (e.g. a screenshot) about the error you see when trying to access Pi-hole's UI?

@FurnaceRocker

I'm going to post this on nextcloud's forum to to see if they might have a solution

Could you please provide a link to that post, so we can be aware of what's already been discussed there?

[FurnaceRocker]

You know, I couldn't find it, I wonder if there was an error with my post or something (was wondering why I wasn't getting any answers). I reposted it, here's the link:

Thanks for the link.

What about my primary request?

@Bucking_Horn

[FurnaceRocker]

oh haha, yeah forgot about it mostly because, well there isn't really much to share:

[Bucking_Horn]

Is port 8080 on that machine open for private network access?

[FurnaceRocker]

Yay I got it to work! I was looking to check that the port was open, and it was but for some reason httpd was using (really not sure why). So I changed it to 800, and went through the steps to manually open the port, and it seems to have worked! Thanks for your help! Changing it also closed the 8080 port, so that was interesting too.
